Mp3tunes.com is an online music storage that let user stored their music online. However, EMI sued Mp3tunes.com for copyright infringement. In my opinion, I believe EMI's lawsuit is without merit. Unlike the original form of napster.com which let user share their music freely, mp3tunes.com billed itself as a storage facility, not a distribution facilty. Based on it, the court struck down EMI's lawsuit. I think EMI just looking for more money or use lawsuit as a tactic to scare off would be online music sharing center. Keep it up, Mp3tunes.com.

http://www.emilychang.com/go/ehub/app/catch-the-best/
Similar to monster.com or hotjob.yahoo.com, catchthebest.com provides job searchers and employers a medium to match their needs. However, catchthebest.com comes with a social twist, it allows other employees to vote on job applicants alias diggs.com. Catchthebest.com has different packages for employers to choose, from free with one job opening to $99.00 a month for 20 openings.

The future of newspaper
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/03/28/decline-of-us-newspapers-accelerating/
With more and more people reading news online, the decline of printed news media is unavoidable. In fact, most news publishers such as New York Times, Financial Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and Newsweek post news online in addition of printed media. Some would charge readers monthly fees to access their news content, while others provide that free of charge. A positives effect is that this will save lots of trees, and energy for printing, thus better for environment. Although printed media is declining, but I think it will never gone for good. Personally, I prefer to read newspaper more than read news online because I can read anywhere. What about your take on this?

Technoriati tries to make more money
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/29/technorati-to-launch-blogger-advertising-network/
Technorati, an internet search engine for searching blogs, is considering to create an advertising network that advertise to bloggers. I think it is a good idea but they are late to the market and lost the completive advantages. FM Publishing is already leading the market, and Technorati needs to compete with them.

Copycat of Digg???
http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/02/25/yahoo-buzz-launches-with-massive-homepage-traffic-to-push-it/
Perhaps Yahoo envys Digg's success and wants to get a share, Yahoo launches Buzz on February 25, 2008. Similar to Diggs, a story in Buzz is ranked by votes. The more votes it gets, the higher ranking it will be. Think Yahoo is the first of copycat? No way, AOL is first! They have a stand alone Digg like site name Propeller.com.
I don't if Yahoo's Buzz can be as successful as Diggs. That remains to be seen.
Here is the link for Yahoo Buzz!
